Just to follow up:

the image I had was Ash's name coming up in a Triskelion meeting for honors, which of course at that level has Her Majesty present, and a couple of the old-boy-network types looking discomfited, and one of them getting up to say, "Your Majesty, the Williams clan is not going to get recognition in any military I am part of!"

And Asrial smiles and says in a pleasant and almost respectful tone, "Well, then, not only are you fired, but go fuck your skull." (All of this is in Salusian, and I presume that directive even more offensive in that language, in the same way that Russians can drop the most astonishingly profane statements either in deeply heated anger or a cheerful aside.)

As the general's jaw drops, and most of the general staff stare in shock (and a couple of them in adoring awe), the Consort says, very quietly, "I know you like to speak your mind, Asrial, but Jesus."
